This is a juvie Bay Snook, Petenia splendida. HERE are some pics of this species, including the normal colored and the red morph (Red bay Snook). Your juvie can be of both varieties if it's around 3-4 inches long. If it's bigger than 4 inches, it's probably the normal-colored morph. In this article you'll find some useful info on this species. Nice fishie, BTW. 
Best regards.

Thanks alot for the information Daniel.
I'm pretty sure mine will be the normal-colored morph as it's 5 inches long at the moment.
Thanks again!
